Said Aeruk to the dwarven bard,I don't think that you work hard.You must raise a hand and slayWork with weapons day by day

It's time for you to prove your worthTime for bards to accept the truthSinging, dancing, doing plays,Telling stories, they're not the way.

Unlike you, I do not fearTo carry weapons 'gainst the HoardeI'll use dagger, sling and spearMy spells back up my sword!

Replied she to the reni mageI'm still of use up on the stageFor all my actions there's a reasonHow dare you imply treason?

In our ranks, morale is fallingMore give up all the timeI say, enough with stallingIt's time to draw the line!

Weighed down by mistakes they can't abideSpirits swallowed by the shame,Pushed to the brink, they suicide.They fade, their souls by Void claimed.

Every week we see another oneThe times, they've gotten tough;How can you say it's not enough?
